I had a cousin, my father's sister's son, who was born in Prescot, Lancashire, and educated in Runcorn, Cheshire, where he married May Hayes in 1st Q of 1960 in Runcorn, and divorced sometime before June 1993. He may have re-married sometime after that date, and died June 1995, aged 56, in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. He was in the Royal Military Police, after being a blacksmith with a cable firm BICC, in Helsby Cheshire, but was a male nurse for a long period of his later life.
Grateful for any new info. Thanks!

No way of knowing which - if any - marriage was his.

What makes you think he re-married?

Buy the DC as suggested.

Not only could the informant be a lead, but also his (or their) normal address. You can then check other residents on the historical ER, which would probably be found at the nearest large library.

Edit - Friends Reunited also have a section on Residential streets - once you have an address, you may find the road listed and could contact someone who lives/lived there and may remember your cousin.
